There are a lot of factors that contribute to phones differentiating from each other, even when they are the same model. Even though machines make the chips, there can still be some variability in construction, and a tiny fraction of a difference between two chips can cause a massive differential in behavior. High overclocking can cause heat build up and warping. Shocks from dropping can shake things loose. Sweat from your pocket can get inside and mess with things. There are dozens of little things that can make a big difference, and most of them are near impossible to account for. I learned this from my Droid 1 days, I had several friends who also had D1s and each one acted different and took to different ROMs differently.

TL;DR, phones are physically different from each other, for one reason or another, and this can cause all manner of strange behavior.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
Anyone have a mirror to aeros new beta minus isn't working it says file not found or removed
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HeroOfTime:
I understand. I just think it's weird that one moment it's fine, the next it isn't. I hadn't messed with overclocking though, that's why I wasn't sure it was the same issue at hand. You are right though, each phone varies. Hopefully we can get this thing figured out or get a leak that'll help get us back on ICS.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mdspace:
I get that, and you're right. But what we can't understand is why the phone runs perfectly on 2.2 and 2.3 but doesn't run at all on ICS.

I've made my peace with it and am patiently waiting for official ICS from HTC to see if that will work. But the mystery will bug me until I have a new phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
worst case you can set back to stock s-on and the like and try to get a replacement dinc2 out of verizon for some problem (wonky charger port, etc) and hope teh new one takes ICS better

other than that idk.

ah, thats good to know. I know previously boot manager didnt place nice with ICS, glad that some combination of rom updates and boot manager updates have fixed that. How's miui 4 btw?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] it2swbrown:
I never liked it but trying to use it. Maybe it will grow in me. Lol

Have you guys seen this thread, updated this morning?

It's ported to the desire and Incredible S.

TP said it wasn't hard to port over from IncS. I know he isn't working on this much any more, but if some one would be willing to give me some guidance on the whole setup, I would be game on playing around with it. I setup Titanium, Aptana with the Android libraries for last week, but haven't been really sure on where to start with ROMs.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk842018:
We have a miui ics rom. In development section
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
yeah not for anything but its funny you found miui 4 ports for other phones, yet missed the one in our development section :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] GT500_Grad:
I was Googling the guy who got the front camera working on the incS and came across that thread.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
well in the future, look in our own threads as well ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
Yes but.....

Yeah but the one in our development section doesn't have half the functionality of this one. Like the IncS has a working camera, ours does not. If it works on IncS then they could pull the drivers to get ours working. Or the hack they made/used to get the camera working. :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
well *half* the functionality is misleading and frankly insulting

the rear camera works in miui and does take decent pictures

miui can only be as functional as its base, which in this case is aerovan's cm9 since he is more or less the last person left working on fixing ics unless touchpro has more free time and is able to resume work

that being said it still requires a ton of work to hack up miui4 to work on this phone...i only started working on it to help out, because miui is popular and no one was

want the camera or whatever fixes from another phone? learn to do this stuff yourself, cuz frankly i only do it for fun...and posts like that make it A LOT LESS FUN
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
Wabash!!!! BURNED!!!!!! Thanks for the great work nitsuj
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kevdliu:
on a happier discovery the first front cam picture i took on the latest aeroevan build is perfect. everything after that is messed up. tried wiping camera data but didnt help either. when i have the time i will reflash again to see if that was a coincidence or not
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HeroOfTime:
Aeroevan's latest

This is specifically for RegnierD, mdspace and anyone who's Inc 2 won't take ICS. Try out Aeroevan's latest rom with his new v.8 kernel. I think it may fix whatever was broken. I think I have ICS working again on my phone. I'll update if something breaks it though. I am psyched that it seems to be working again. Hopefully it fixed everything!

Also, just a side note, I fixed permissions in 4ext and that may or may not have influenced things. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] GT500_Grad:
I just flashed our miui and I agree it is by far more than half. It is pretty nice and you have done a good job. I apologize for over looking it. I do now remember you posting it.

I saw that the incS has the front camera and face unlock working. That's why I suggested porting it over to try and piece ours together.

I did ask for some guidance on how to port and hack together roms. Our team is getting pretty thin and I have been wanting to get into it. I am a software engineer so I'm familiar with code. I just haven't done much with mobile yet
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
There are very good tutorials on building aosp on xda and rootzwiki....miui is a different beast as its hack and slash smali editing versus building from.source in java
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mdspace:
I have no idea if this will last, but my phone is working on ICS. System is fast. Screen turns back on. SU binaries update. And the phone reboots.

I totally have a man crush on Aerovan right now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mcsplatt:
Alright fella, simmer down now. Lol happy for ya. Still wicked mysterious, though, amiright?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HeroOfTime:
I'm glad it works for you too and isn't just a fluke. I contemplated trying to flash another ICS rom rom, but I don't want to tempt fate with it. I learned my lesson getting flash happy. Cheers.

It's downright weird! Hats off to Aeroevan on this build though! Man's my hero.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] snaber69:
Can you list the steps you went thru to do it? I tried it and no go. I did a factory wipe, deleted both caches then install 2-21 and then installed v9. Now I didn't reboot between the 2 installs. Doing it this way it hung. After about 15 mins I pulled the battery, went back into recovery and reflashed the 2-21 rom. It came up but as soon as the screen went black it didn't come back.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
finally back. What's new??
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HeroOfTime:
When I did it, I flashed the rom and the v8 kernel and tested it out. Once I knew it was working, I rebooted into recovery and flashed the gapps .zip. That's how it worked for me. Good luck.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
I'm on it! Downloading now! If this works, I might cry! Haha!

Edit: Did you flash the Rom and kernel together?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HeroOfTime:
Yeah. I figured I'd try that out and was pleasantly surprised. Actually, I had to flash back to the v7 kernel after I flashed the gapps to get the market to work. Anyway, ICS is running smoothly for me now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
Any other details you can provide about your previous setup, method of wiping, etc? Anything you think might be relevant?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
Yikes sorry
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HeroOfTime:
I used 4ext, wiped all partitions (except SD), then I went into tools and fixed permissions just on a whim. Finally, I flashed the from and then the kernel, tested it and rebooted into recovery to flash the gapps. That was my process. Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions about what I did.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
It's not working for me. :/ I've tried it several times now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mdspace:
Sure. I did this in 4ext touch recovery:

1.Factory reset.

2. Wipe all partitions (except SD Card)

3. Flash the 02-21 Aerovan CM9 Kang.

4. Flashed the 20120224 GAPPS

5. Flashed the v8 kernel

6. Fixed permission

7. Reboot
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
Hmmm... Weird. I'll give it another shot. What rom were you running before you flashed?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mdspace:
I was running Virtuous Affinity
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
Thanks. I'll flash that first and see what happens.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HeroOfTime:
I was running MikRunny v1.01, similar to Affinity (based on Sense 3.5).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
I just ran the Super Wipe zip to get to ext4 already and then formatted everything again. I'm giving this a shot with the new 4ext Touch release and seeing if it changes anything.

Edit: I still can't get it to run. That's frustrating. Screen still won't come back one and the live wallpapers is choppy, but everything else is really smooth.

Trebuchet sucks, Nova was good until they released a pro version and then put alot of the good stuff in that. I recommend Apex Launcher, it has everything Nova Launcher Pro has for free, including the tablet animations you speak of kevdliu. I just started trying it out yesterday and it's awesome.

i love the ICS releases, but the tearing on the camera forced me to go back to CM7.2. I've got two little kids, and I constantly found myself needing the camera. For whatever reason, the camera app that did work (i forget the name, it kind of sucked) didn't save in a format that would allow me to send the images as MMS. i have a feeling it won't take long before i'm back though. progress has been fantastic thanks to the work of a few individuals.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Oddly enough... I was using protekk's latest AOKP and noticed that the tearing was there like always.. however, on the top with the tear it was a piece of a picture that was on my SD card BEFORE I did a full data wipe and formatted the SD card.. Very weird!!! The photo was obliderated yet.. was able to be sewn into a photo I had just taken...

I couldn't run ICS because it didn't do 3G. When I went back to my nandroid of Andybonestock it took several battery pull>*228>reboots to get 3G back. There is some bit of memory that doesn't get erased by a factory reset> superwipe.

Would you guys recommend Tiamat or Aeroevan kernel's for battery?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
Idk man I'm still on the fence I'm getting great battery life with aeros newest build and newest kernel. I think it'd be silly to flash tiamat with Evans from BC i mean... they should go well together right? I ran tiamat with aokp26 and received pretty bad battery stats personally

Also the market stopped working for me on aeros latest. I tried flashing tape_market fix, clearing app data, and killall drmserver in term emu and nothing is working
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zero75:
Stick with Evans. My setup didn't like tiamat. Was very slow and choppy running. Maybe its just me.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prenedo:
I thought the same and was getting really pissed, because of the supposed voice search (it does work btw, testing BT later today) I had to visit the link from my computer. It showed unavailable on my phone and transformer prime. It may be that you need to be in desktop mode.

You have two alternative options to fix that issue,

Re, GSM Bug

Hey TP,

I know I've never talked in the Thread before and i only sent you PM's.

But I'd like to point out that i also was having those same problems with your GSM Patch and with that "Pre-Beta" Rom of v1.1 you had sent me with the GSM Included.

The v1.1 Rom had GSM Which would work for a few hours i would get an error.

I would lose bars and it would change to WCMDA Mode, and i couldn't change it back.

When you had your old "Not so Secret" Stash you had a GSM Patch for other CM9 Roms there which i installed on aeroevan's build and same thing today after a few hours i couldn't get back to GSM even with that patch.

which i re-installed to make sure and it wouldn't work even after the re-install of the patch.

So now im back to the NTSH Beta 2 you had released which is still the newest Rom that i can use and have GSM Service here in Canada.

Anyways Thanks again! Hope we get a fix for this as i saw above!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cloud_9:
Thanks alot bro..downloading now..;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Firetop:
Ok So first of all thanks TP For getting back to me so quick with that updated GSM Patch.

So I've tested it out on the 4 biggest Roms and this is the results, and for me this makes sense.

Aeroevan's CM9 1-1 build - Wont Boot after GSM Flash, Stays Stuck at HTC Logo.

TP CM9 Mix v1.1 - Boots after GSM Flash, System un-usable with FC's And No Network Connection at all.

ProTekk's Christmas Build - System Wont Boot, Stays Stuck at HTC Logo.

TP's Newest Refreshed Beta1 - Boots Fine After GSM Flash, Stock Launcher Constantly FC's And Cant be used, No GSM Connection BUT Seems like CMDA Would work though. System Seems Pretty stable other then that.

Seems like the GSM patch v1.1 Still needs some work. But its getting there.

Steps I've done between each flash:

Wipe Data and Catch

Format /System

Wipe Dalvik Catch

Install OS and then Patch.

Needs a bit of work, But I'm sure TP will get it.

PS. I did re-install the Newest TP Build In this thread Two times to make sure.

Both times the Patch Didn't work. Also I'm running the stock Kernel on all Roms I tested.

Back to NTSH Beta 2 For GSM service lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x3demond3x:
to get connection working after you flash the patch you have to do a factory reset from the phone by going into settings>backup&erase> factory reset.

As for force closing i am testing something now and will report back.
